As the "he said, she said" feud takes shape on The Real Housewives of New York City, two teams have seemingly formed: LuAnn, Kelly and Jill's group, and Bethenny and Ramona's group, leaving Alex as the impartial cast member who's caught in the middle of all the mess. And if "Dueling Labor Day Parties" is any indication, we can expect more division among the ladies in the third episode entitled "Fall in Manhattan."

It's New York Fashion Week on The Real Housewives of New York City and for the women of Manhattan, this event is considered the cream of the crop. LuAnn throws a party to celebrate the event however, Bethenny and Ramona are noticeably not present, though not surprisingly. This might as well be round 2 of the dueling parties!

Last week on The Real Housewives of New York City, both Ramona and LuAnn threw a Labor Day weekend party, which created a bigger wedge among the girls. Kelly and Jill went to LuAnn's bash while Bethenny and Alex attended Ramona's. Alex, on the other hand, remains to have a neutral stance but will she be forced to pick a side when LuAnn and Jill start prodding her to dish out information about Ramona's party? We'll find out tonight.

The most intriguing part of the third episode, though, is when Jill and Bethenny run into each other. The feud between these two women seems to be the most controversial this season, considering both have been very good friends until their little tiff over the summer.

For now, I'll leave you with a clip about Kelly trying to tell her daughters about her Playboy shoot over dinner. It doesn't exactly go well since her daughters clearly do not want her to pose topless for the magazine. But leave it to Kelly to come up with a ridiculous excuse to justify her decision.
